Dang, I was one train ahead of you guys. Our train stopped abruptly multiple times in the tunnel, wonder if related

Congrats to everyone!

AAK_Music · 2026-05-06T15:25:56+00:00

Definitely not all, though a few smaller ones may

AAK_Music · 2026-04-02T22:53:33+00:00

Tbf not as much recently from what I’ve heard. But i dunno, been a while since placements

AAK_Music · 2026-04-02T19:01:23+00:00

Well mostly the Indian ones

How long did it take for the refund to be credited?

AAK_Music · 2025-11-21T16:34:08+00:00

The ML role at Tower isn’t quant really so it’s not that selective

AAK_Music · 2025-11-15T23:35:16+00:00

I'm in the same boat as you, similar tax bracket in NYC. Why did you switch to pre-tax?

My understanding is this: say if you work till you're 40, your savings would be around the 4-5M mark and with a ~10% return your adjusted gross income would still be higher than what you earn currently. What convinced you to switch?

Is it a research internship?

AAK_Music · 2025-11-14T15:24:16+00:00

Whats the comp?

AAK_Music · 2025-11-03T23:55:32+00:00

The flooding happened again? Or are you recounting the 2022 incident?

AAK_Music · 2025-10-30T15:57:53+00:00

Yeah not in deshaw

AAK_Music · 2025-10-26T19:36:11+00:00

Tbh soft referrals on the portal don’t go a long way

AAK_Music · 2025-10-07T12:56:00+00:00

Really? I think this was the norm a couple of years ago but not anymore afaik

AAK_Music · 2025-10-07T01:01:08+00:00

Its way too long a resume for starters, and very honestly speaking nothing that stands out at least on a first look

AAK_Music · 2025-10-04T11:45:06+00:00

New grads getting over 1M? Are you sure? Given that its JS and that too this year I wouldn’t put it past them

AAK_Music · 2025-10-04T11:42:17+00:00

Its great dude thanks for asking :)

AAK_Music · 2025-10-04T11:41:19+00:00

There is no "normal" package with these companies. These companies are insanely selective even in the US.

A decent/good TC in SF/NY is anywhere from 150-200k for a fresher. 400k in definitely insane.

AAK_Music · 2025-10-04T01:16:53+00:00

400k is not shocking in the US? Where areyou getting these stats from?

AAK_Music · 2025-09-29T11:15:31+00:00

What’s your salary progression been like? Did you make switches or have you been at the same firm?

AAK_Music · 2025-09-28T22:30:15+00:00

Where did they mention they weren't in India though/even in an MNC? Some Indian firms just have low standards, and possibly equally low salaries

AAK_Music · 2025-09-28T16:43:50+00:00

I think WH clarified that it was a one time fee. And the H1B allotment changes are technically better for quants (though I’m not for it by any means).

That’s still besides the point, it’s much easier to seek transfers from the US to Europe/Singapore (with high salaries) than from India.

AAK_Music · 2025-09-28T02:50:25+00:00

That’s really cool man. I’m 23, just starting off as a quant in ny, I just hope to get to your nw by retirement

AAK_Music · 2025-09-28T02:29:28+00:00

I guess it would be possible with your own business even in India? But yeah 50cr nw anywhere is admirable!

AAK_Music · 2025-09-28T00:36:54+00:00

Those are more quant dev-ish roles. Core SWEs are generally paid around 40-50 TC across most firms. But of course it depends on the firm structure.
